I am building my first PC and it won't boot bios/ only gives a black screen. I have re-done the build. Trying it with and without the graphics card and placed the ram in different slots/ channels. I have no idea whats wrong. I was told the ram is too fast for the motherboard and I know that my power supply is probably not enough. If anyone has advise, that would be great. I have used a vga cable on the motherboard and a hdmi in the graphics card
My build
AMD FX-8370
Gigabyte Motherboard 78LMT-USB3
Gigabyte GTX 1060 3GB
G.Skill Sniper Series 8GB (2 4GB) DDR3 2133
Cosair CX450
WD Blue Sata 1TB 7200
Hyper 212 Evo CPU fan

You couldn't have checked everything, because if you had, you'd have found the problem. Every issue that could result in a failure to post is listed there.

Unless of course it IS posting, and you're just not seeing anything on the screen. That board has integrated graphics with both a VGA and DVI connectors on it. Are you SURE you are connecting your monitor cables to the graphics card outputs, and not the motherboard outputs?
Could be the RAM speed, but anything up to 2133mhz is generally possible on FX chips. 1600-1866mhz is what's most often used because it pretty much always works.

Do you have a speaker attached to the motherboard in order to hear the error code beeps? If so, what is the pattern you are getting when you try to boot?

Do fans and everything come on and just no display?

Check EVERYTHING at the following link, and then check it all again. Seriously, even if you THINK it's all good, CHECK.

No I don't have the speaker and all the fans do come on. Ya I have ran through the list and checked everything.
